You’ve taught the models. You’ve discussed the cases. Yet many supervisors still find themselves wondering: How do I help my supervisees/trainees turn knowledge into real clinical skill?
Research confirms what many of us sense: traditional supervision—no matter how thoughtful—doesn’t reliably improve therapist effectiveness. Good intentions and insight aren’t enough. Enter Deliberate Practice Supervision. This experiential course offers a practical alternative. You’ll observe and actively engage in focused, performance-based exercises that demonstrate how deliberate practice transforms supervision into real skill development.
Jason Brand, LCSW, brings deep expertise as a Senior Deliberate Practice Trainer and Faculty at Sentio University. Certified in Deliberate Practice Supervision through the International Deliberate Practice Society, he leads dynamic, skills-based supervision groups that help clinicians stretch, grow, and sharpen their effectiveness. Drawing from his background in psychotherapy with men and couples, and his certification in PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), Jason guides participants in applying deliberate practice principles to real-world supervision challenges—bridging the gap between theory, feedback, and skill.
In this training, Jason guides participants through a clear, practical look at how deliberate practice supervision works. Rather than focusing on abstract theory, you’ll see supervision in action—how structured feedback, repetition, and focused coaching help therapists develop skills that stick.
Topics include the core principles of deliberate practice (DP) in psychotherapy, how DP differs from traditional supervision, and strategies for identifying and targeting specific skill gaps. You’ll learn how supervisors use DP techniques to strengthen therapeutic presence, sharpen feedback, and support measurable growth in supervisees.
Key Takeaways
- See deliberate practice supervision in action: Watch how supervisors use focused feedback, repetition, and rehearsal to help therapists turn insight into measurable skill.
- Practical tools for supervision: Learn concrete ways to structure supervision sessions that target specific areas where supervisees get stuck and guide them toward real improvement.
- Sharper feedback and presence: Discover how deliberate practice enhances your ability to offer precise, compassionate feedback while deepening the supervisee’s awareness of their own process.
Why this course?
- A proven method: Deliberate practice is an evidence-based approach used by top performers in sports, music, and psychotherapy to build real skill through structured repetition and feedback.
- A focus on supervision: This course shows how DP principles translate directly into the supervision room—bridging the gap between talking about therapy and actively developing therapist ability.
- An expert guide: With certification in Deliberate Practice Supervision and years of experience leading DP groups, Jason Brand, LCSW, offers practical insight you can apply immediately in your own supervision.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the core principles of deliberate practice (DP) as they apply to therapist learning and supervision.
- Differentiate between traditional learning approaches and DP methods in psychotherapy training and supervision.
- Identify supervisory moments where supervisees tend to get stuck, and strategies for targeted skill growth.
- Use Deliberate Practice techniques within supervision to deepen therapist self-awareness and strengthen the “person of the therapist.”
- Apply deliberate practice strategies to improve model-specific interventions and common factors across therapy approaches.
- Analyze demonstrations of DP supervision to identify key elements of structure, repetition, and feedback.
By the end of this training, you’ll understand not just what deliberate practice is, but how to actually do it—so you can continue to grow as a clinician long after the training ends. If you’re ready for a course that leaves theory behind and builds your real-world effectiveness, this training is for you.
